Reviews
Pleasant surprise…terrific flavor.Personal recommendation…1. Make dressing as described.2. Try the dressing on each of the suggested lettuces…different textures.Annie, Fremont, CAPS…Am in CA…not all grocery stores carried all types of lettuce. Personal…butter lettuce and/or mache.
Little effort and high payout! Looks and tastes great. I used bagged mixed greens on the side to save time, but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. The Thousand Island dressing is so good — we put it on our steak as well, and had enough for salad for 3 people the next day. Just delicious. Great for company — wowed my husband, who asked me to make it for his parents next time they visit = Definitely recommend!
